POINTING FINGERS

NBC

Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Senate Democrats are to blame for the lack of a comprehensive investigation into the sexual-misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. The Supreme Court nominee and one of his three accusers, Christine Blasey Ford, will testify in front of a Senate panel today, but President Trump will not order an FBI investigation into the allegations before the vote on him scheduled for Friday morning. Asked why the president won’t postpone the vote and investigate the claims, Sanders told NBC’s Today: “Democrats have known about this. If they wanted to go through a two-month process, why didn’t they bring this up in the middle of Kavanaugh’s hearing? Why didn’t they bring this to light? They knew about it, it’s because they want to play political games. I think if people have any frustration with the pace and the speed then I think they have no place to look other than at the Democrats, who have turned this whole thing into a complete circus.”
